Rangers wrap up

Hey guys sorry it took so long but my baseball season is over and school is also. It was very busy this last month but here are my autos from the Rangers series.

I'm not posting pics withs anymore becuase it gives away spots and it is a pain to upload all of them.
Next games all the Phillies games in Baltimore hoping I get Thome thats all I really want but i will take anything else.

During BP I got a photo with Alberto Gonzalez and David Murphy. Also got Murphy and Derrick Holland on a card. Short post because I wanted to get to the pics of the autographs and pics withs.

Rangers-Orioles 5/8/12

I thought today was just going to be awful. I got Wei Yin Chen on an 8x10 of me and him. It was raining and I hadn't seen a player til roughly 2:45. my dad got Josh Hamilton on a copy of a book for my friend Trent who hadn't gotten him the day before. I got over to one part of the players entrance I had learned Alexi Ogando had signed. I was angry. I really wanted him. He then came out and I was stoked to get my photo with him. Inside right away I was able to get Matt Harrison to sign a card. Since the Rangers weren't hitting due to a late start of Orioles BP due to rain only the pitchers were out. A bunch of people left the well to go to the outfield for Yu Darvish. He randomly came running in and I somehow got him over. I got him on a ball. I then went along the third baseline and got Derek Holland on an 8x10 of me and him and a card. I got Mark Lowe on a 2011 World Series Ball, since he will sort of be remembered for giving up the homerun to Freese. I also got a pic with him. I then got a pic with Koji Uehara. I witnessed absolute history as Josh Hamilton hit 4 homeruns and a double going 5 for 5. After the game all I got was a pic with Robbie Ross and a pic with Matt Harrison. I also got Stuart Pomeranz on the ticket from the day before since it was his MLB debut.

Rangers-Orioles 5/7

Today pregame I got pictures with Jason Berken, Stuart Pomeranz, Dave Anderson, Mitch Moreland. I got Elvis Andrus on an 8x10 and Mike Napoli on a card. It was semi hectic as my dad missed out on Michael Young. I don't even want to talk about that, but he did get David Murphy on a Rangers helmet. I also got Mike Bordick on 2 cards. Inside I got my picture with Brandon Snyder. I got Yorvit Torrealba on a Sports Illustrated magazine and then got my photo with him. When Batting Practice was over I got Koji Uehara on 2 cards. I was shocked because of how many times he said no when he was with the Orioles. I also got Joe Nathan on a card and got a better picture with him. Pregame after long waiting during Batting Practice I finally got Josh Hamilton. I got him on a 2010 World Series Program and a Baseball Digest Magazine. After the game I was only able to get a photo with Arthur Rhoades who was just visiting as he lives in Baltimore. I'm just informing you guys I probably will not end up with a Yu Darvish autograph. Oh well.

Season Totals: 41 cards
                         4 signed 8x10's
                         3 signed magazines

Downtown Inner Harbor

This is going to be a short post because of an incident I had but I got a pic with Joe Nathan. Mike Adams on a card and a pic with him. I got turned down by Neftali Feliz, Elvis Andrus, Alexei Ogando, and Adrian Beltre. My dad and I saw a player and we weren't sure who it was from a distance. It was Josh Hamilton. We followed him to a resturaunt annd here is the conversation:

Me: Josh, I know its Sunday but do you think I could get a picture with you?
Josh: Sure. If  "the resturaunt" closes I'm comin after you guys.

I got my photo with him and so did my dad then he shook our hands. When he was walking back we waved to him and he waved back. I kept the resturaunt name out of it because I don't want him getting hounded. Trip=Made.

Me and Ray Burris



Niuman Romero

  

 I know you are thinking "Whose Niuman Romero?" but he played 2 games with the Red Sox so he counts as a former Major League player. Next up is David Huff. He was on a MLB rehab assignment in Reading with the Akron Aeros. I missed him pitching but I did not miss out on getting my picture with him after the game.



Also in the Fromer MLB players pictures I got Bob Kipper:

Today in fact my parents went to a game and there was a Gregg Gross ALS auction and my dad bid on a Jim Thome signed bat and won it. As you can recall, Jim Thome is my favorite player. Also my dad put chances in on a signed broken bat used by Tyson Gillies, a Phillies prospect, and won. He is probably going to be Victorino's replacment.

Thome signature



Thome bat itself

Gillies bat

Also I got a game used broken bat from the visiting clubhouse guy who had two and gave me one. I was not sure who broke it and foolishly did not take pictures before I downloaded the photos off my camera. Upcoming Rangers May 7th, 8th and 9th.
